About The Position

Crusoe is seeking a Sustainability Program Manager to turn sustainability commitments into operational practices across its expanding portfolio of AI data centers and energy assets. The role owns processes, training, and tracking that help make sustainability KPIs achievable and enforceable, translating targets into requirements, workflows, and accountability at the site and project level. It is suited to someone with technical understanding of how manufacturing facilities and data centers are built and operated, and who can design scalable processes, drive adoption, and improve performance. The position leads operational initiatives in water, waste, and carbon; supports sustainability implementation throughout data center project lifecycles; and embeds requirements into manufacturing, construction, commissioning, and operations. It also supports green building certifications, maintains performance dashboards and workflows, and tracks renewable energy and energy performance data in partnership with internal teams. The manager will provide additional support for broader sustainability priorities as the business evolves.
